The only thing is the output of tar -jvtf gopher-arch.tar.bz2 and a
README.TXT with an index. So nothing meaningful really.
I forgot I had sent you the DVDs. If you have them, you can help seed by:
cat all the gopher-arch.tar.bz2.0* files together, in order.
You can, eg, cat /meda/dvd1/*.bz2.0* > gopher-arch.tar.bz2
and then on other DVDs, cat /media/dvd2/*.bz2.0* >> gopher-arch.tar.bz2
copy DVD4's files.bz2 to gopher-arch-sqldump.bz2
copy DVD4's mpm_gopher.mov to a file with the same name.
The remaining data is really small and can download in a few seconds
before you start seeding.
You can name your directory "Full Gopher Archive from 2007" for the
tools to find it, or you can start downloading the torrent for a few
seconds before you do the above to pre-create 0-byte files you can
copy into.
